Quesillo / Oaxacan string cheese (pasta filata)
Oaxaca, Mexico — Central Valleys dairy tradition, Etla Valley particularly noted
Quesillo is Oaxaca's iconic string cheese — a fresh pasta filata cheese made from cows' milk curd that is stretched and braided into balls. Identical in technique to Italian mozzarella but stretched more aggressively to create long ribbons that are wound into balls. Mild, milky, supple — it melts smoothly and is used in quesadillas, tlayudas, enfrijoladas, and as a table cheese. The stretching and braiding is a skill developed through repetition.
